A week on the wrist and counting..

Back on the bracelet. I’m really a bracelet guy. As much as I love looking at watches on straps, and boy, are they really nice to look at, my wrist is drawn to bracelets. It explains why my watch choices are easily narrowed down to the usual suspects. And when you add microadjustment to the mix, it even gets narrower. With the old ones, it’s easy to make an exception usually because they’re thinner like this SMP300 or any 5 digit Rolex save for the sea dweller. So even without a microadjust, it’s still quite comfortable.

Maybe my next watch will be a Tudor if they ever come out with a 39mm black bay white dial gmt or a garden variety white dial Datejust. But I am in no hurry as I have this one to keep me company. 21 years old this

I’d have a hard time believing that it’s 21 years old.

Thanks! Scratch marks behind the lugs due to strap changes over the years..

.. and a scratch on the bezel at around 11:00, but if wear here and there but overall not so bad. The guy who serviced my watch a couple of years ago was pleasantly surprised as well 🙂

Absolutely awesome watch!

I love that you can get them on the 300…I feel the same way about bracelets… in fact it’s one of the things that prevents me from purchasing a ceramic PO Chrono… As I wish they would come out with a ceramic bracelet… I may do it anyway, but there’s some t...

Wouldn’t it feel delicate to have a ceramic bracelet? Never tried one. Bracelets are just easier to put on, I guess.

A solid classic!
